Why Can't I load Thunderbird on my samsung galaxy core?
"your system doesn't meet the requirements to run Thunderbird" I am running Android 5.1.1 Can I get round this????

Well, yes, but it is very unlike Firefox for the desktop, and is pretty much indistinguishable from all the other browsers you can get from the app shops. I use Firefox on Android only because it falls over slightly less often than the default Chrome browser. But much of the time, if you asked which I was using, I'd be hard pressed to tell you.
Firefox for Android demonstrates that you have to drastically redesign a program to make it workable on a touch screen. So, apart from the facts that Mozilla no longer build Thunderbird, and that the development team have their hands full without the additional work of porting it to a mobile format, it just wouldn't look or feel particularly like Thunderbird. So you may just as well use the stock email app on your device, which IS optimized for the touch screen interface.
Is there anything in particular that you would expect from a Thunderbird "app" does that other apps don't offer?

No. Thunderbird is not compiled for Android.
Thunderbird is only made for desktop Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux as there is no mobile version development for any mobile OS including Android.
WHY? Firefox is available on Android!!
